Artist: Various Artists
Album: Verve Remixed

Genre: Jazz, Electronica

More than ten years on from the first whisperings of a dance revolution, there are scores of solid producers in the scene, figures with all the talent, historical knowledge, and judgment necessary to rework most any tracks from the Verve archive. Surprisingly, Verve Remixed strays from the label's crossover-heavy '60s and '70s material (the records usually name-checked by dance producers), preferring instead to tackle serious classics from the canon of vocal jazz, focusing especially on female vocalists: Billie Holiday (two songs), Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Nina Simone, Carmen McRae, and Shirley Horn. As is nearly always the case with tributes or remix albums, the results are mixed; several productions triumph in either equalling or enhancing the intent of the original, but too often a complex arrangement of a pop standard is trampled by insistence on a constant groove, whether it's of downtempo or more clubby house origin. British garage producer MJ Cole provides a few good vibes underneath Carmen McRae's "How Long Has This Been Going On?," but, in so doing, utterly destroys the pace and rhythm of the original. dZihan & Kamien are given the unenviable task of redoing Billie Holiday's "Don't Explain," and seem utterly unable to find a middle ground between all or nothing (of course, there isn't much of a middle ground on most dancefloors). The most intriguing collaboration on paper, a take on Holiday's classic "Strange Fruit" by nightmarish trip-hop star Tricky, suffers from the same strange quality: it's a great production, but shows little understanding of the arranging skills necessary to frame a great singer. The best track here, Richard Dorfmeister's grooving house take on Willie Bobo's "Spanish Grease," proves the point perfectly; the original was a laid-back jam (not a standard), and the remix coaxes a superb house production out of it. Too many other contributions here are unable or unwilling to spend the hours necessary to craft traditional pop. John Bush;AMG

     Идеальная форма для ностальгического плача - тот самый стиль морна, который сделал уроженку находящихся на краю земли Островов Зеленого Мыса королевой world-music. Португальская, испанская и бразильская музыкальная культура, африканский фольклор, джаз и блюз смешиваются здесь в причудливых пропорциях. Стихи о потерянной родине и отвергнутой любви, рассказы о трагических страницах африканской истории естественно ложатся на нехитрые, прямо приступающие к делу и легко очаровывающие слушателя мелодии. Акустическое обрамление голосу составляют рояль, гавайская гитара, аккордеон, невыносимо тоскливые скрипки, гитара и кларнет.

Artist: Jose James
Album: The Dreamer
Label: Brownswood
Release Date: Jan 29, 2008
Genre: Jazz, Vocal Jazz
Format, bitrate: mp3, 320kb/s
Size: 63,8+68,3MB

Listen out for this guy in 2008. Vocalist Jose James isn't going to be the next Jamie Cullum—his style is too understated and his attitude faces purposefully away from the mainstream—but The Dreamer, Brooklyn-based James' debut album, has star quality.
James made a splash in late 2007 with a reworking of John Coltrane's “Equinox,” and he's four-square in the post-bop vocal tradition established by older singers like Mark Murphy, Jon Lucien and Leon Thomas. But there is nothing remotely anachronistic about his music, which is cool, poised, immaculately hip and, like that of his fellow alumnus from New York City's New School For Jazz and Contemporary Music, pianist Robert Glasper, touched by the low-slung groove of the hip-hop generation.
Seven of the ten tracks were written by James (who also produced and arranged the bulk of the album), and their vamp-based structures and intimate, smoky performances are reminiscent of the recordings Leon Thomas made with saxophonist Pharoah Sanders in the late 1960s, though without Thomas' trademark yodeling. Not for nothing, one of the pages on James's website is titled “The Creator Has A Master Plan,” after the Sanders/Thomas opus on Sanders' Karma (Impulse!, 1969).
Of the three covers, the oldest is Roland Kirk's “Spirits Up Above,” the more recent Bill Lee's “Nola,” from the 1986 movie She's Gotta Have It, and Freestyle Fellowship's “Park Bench People,” from the album The Other Side: Los Angeles (Deaf Dumb & Blind, 2007).
James' core band—pianist Nori Ochiai, bassist Alexi David and drummer Steve Lyman—is stunning. Muscular, but loosely, casually so; morphing seamlessly between straight-ahead, funk and hip-hop rhythms, and demonstrating that a lot more unites these musics than divides them. The guest artists are a treat too. Pianist Junior Mance (one of James' tutors at the New School) makes his blues-drenched presence felt on “Spirits Up Above,” and trumpeter Omar Abdulkarim's robust solo on the title track brilliantly offsets James' breathy, astral-jazz delivery.

     Art Farmer brought great sophistication and refinement to the trumpet, and later to the flugelhorn - the latter eventually became his horn of choice. On this 1956 recording date, Farmer is joined by many of the original "young lions" of the post ... Full Descriptionbebop era, including the always-swinging tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley. The trumpeter's quintet performs a set of mostly originals written by Mobley, Farmer, and pianist Kenny Drew, with only one standard heard here--the lovely (and often overlooked) Schwartz-Dietz piece "By Myself."
     Each tune is a gem, but the best is left for last on FARMER'S MARKET. The vigorous "Wailin' with Hank" features a burning solo by Farmer, who trades in his characteristically smooth lyricism for a harder-edged, punchy sound (a la Clifford Brown). Elvin Jones's drum solo on this selection adds even more fire to the track. Overall, FARMER'S MARKET is made up of elegant performances that straddle the boundaries between the so-called "hot" and "cool" schools of jazz. It is this ability to defy strict categorization that makes this album such a compelling listen.

     A strikingly attractive "transcultural" project initiated by Tunisian oud virtuoso Anouar Brahem, who is both an innovator and a traditionalist in the deepest sense (he has been credited with "restoring the sovereignty of the oud" in Tunisian music). There is no glib fusion of traditions on Thimar but rather a coming together of three very distinctive musicians who sacrifice none of their individuality in the search for common ground. Arab classical music and jazz are the reference points here, but Anouar Brahem, John Surman and Dave Holland meet as improvisors not limited by genre definition. -- from ecmrecords.com

     Drummer Ed Thigpen's first album as a leader (recorded a year after he left the Oscar Peterson Trio) was reissued as a CD in 1998. Although not soloing much, Thigpen wrote three of the seven selections and occasionally played tuned drums, which sound a little bit like timbales. In addition to the leader, the main star is Clark Terry (on flugelhorn and trumpet), who plays quite freely on two numbers utilizing only a trumpet mouthpiece in spots. Guitarist Kenny Burrell gets in a few good solos and is showcased on "Struttin' With Some Barbeque" while bassist Ron Carter and pianist Herbie Hancock also make strong contributions. Unfortunately, there are only 32 minutes of music on this CD (which is highlighted by "Cielito Lindo"), so its brevity keeps it from being too essential, but the performances are enjoyable. -- Review by Scott Yanow, AMG.

     Lady Day and Pres... их союзу посвящены бесконечные дифирамбы, легенды и слухи, статьи и стихи.... Что еще можно сказать? Только факты. Они сделали вместе около 60 записей (все представлено на этом тройном сете), большинство из которых стало джазовой классикой, они были друзьями, сообщниками, одиозными личностями, гениальными музыкантами, и умерли оба в 1959 с разницей в 4 месяца. Мир просто не смог удерживать равновесие после смерти Лестера....
